Finishing 4th or 5th , We would still receive the same amount of money from playoff footy regardless ?

Would imagine we would get more for 4th as we would play 2 games

I thought the money got shared equally?.

I think the prize money is based on finishing spots after the play offs

You maybe right....I have no idea, it is just that the top 4 are guaranteed to play at least 2 games so maybe they get a larger chunk.

I think you are correct. The prize money is based on your finishing position after the play-offs. If we finish 5th and lose our first game then we technically finish 8th.

So if we do finish 4th then we should get more money since we will be in the second week? or does it just go on games won?

I thought I had previously read that the money is an equal share to all play off teams no matter where you finish ??

In the Operational Rules, the RFL say with their usual clarity

I was under the impression that gate receipts of play offs games upto the Grand Final were shared equally between the 8 clubs and a proportion of the receipts from the Grand Final went to the two finalists (as well as the RFL).

If we finish 4th we are guaranteed to finish 6th at worst I think? 2 teams would drop out after the first week so they would finish 7th and 8th. Its possible I'm just making all of this up of course

to finish anywhere in the 8 is a massive bonus on the previous two years, to finish top 4 is fantastic !!

try explaining this to jake and the gang!!!!!

It could get messy Jimmy

does anyone have an abacus please
